As we well know, the Medes Islands are a sanctuary of biodiversity in the Mediterranean. This natural reserve is home to one of the richest communities of flora and fauna in the region. That is why, in this article, we discuss the mooring buoys of the Medes Islands.
The Important Role of Sustainable Mooring
Protecting this ecosystem is essential because it maintains the ecological balance and the natural beauty that characterizes the Medes Islands. This is why sustainable navigation becomes crucial.
We emphasize the importance of using eco-friendly mooring buoys. These buoys are an ideal alternative to minimize negative impacts on our ecosystem: they prevent anchor dragging that could damage vegetation, such as Posidonia, and avoid direct contact with the seabed.
For better protection of these vital areas, The Montgrí Natural Park has initiated a mooring regulation project. Thus, the use of these buoys has, in recent years, become fee-based.
